Neither. Rodgers doesn't play for either team.

But Rodgers is part owner of the Bucks

Well in this instance I was telling the truth.

If you have to tell someone that "this time I'm telling the truth" you have zero credibility.

Seriously GNG, you can survive this. You cannot regain any respect by defending your GNG'ing and saying "everybody lies"

Do you honestly believe that everyone here is telling the truth? I get plenty of respect in real life and just like to post here to express my opinion and have fun. Who really cares if I'm posting from Texas, Wisconsin or the North Pole.

Credibility and an anonymous sports forum is an oxymoron.

This was never about what was done but how it was done.

And there is no rational argument that it's normal to give away the number of an 10 year NFL premiere player ...just 5 days after draft. (The Pack had the choice to give away his number 100 different way than this.)

It's was far from normal and it will never be normal. That was the Packers sending Matthews a message.
A message that they are really pissed about something.


If some feel that this was a non-story ....It's their right to say so.

But "how" this was done ... WAS NOT NORMAL.


.

84 and 26 will and should be handed out soon if they haven't already been.

Maybe it's normal, maybe it's not, IDK, but either way I don't think it's a big deal on a national level....maybe on a team board.

Apparently, you do, Mrs. fake Cowboys troll

Agree 100%. What number someone wears is important to virtually no one except the players themselves, particularly after that player has departed the team.

Anyone remember the controversy surrounding Clinton Portis buying the rights to #26 Ifeanyi Ohalete's number? No? Does anyone care? No.

With 90-95 numbers available per team (due to retired numbers), roughly 90 players report to training camp. Even allowing for a few players having identical numbers, not all unretired numbers can be used. This is why there is a "ring of honor" for most teams nowadays, to celebrate great former players, but whose numbers were not retired.

I can't believe any fan outside of Washington would remember Portis buying the number from some random, bad safety. I remember it because Portis stiffed the guy, who was later cut and needed the money, and only paid when he was sued. Dick move.

Yep. Used to live in the DC area. Portis is still a hero there, but it was a mild bit of controversy that went against him. Ohalete was, as you said, a crappy safety, but Portis screwed him over a jersey number.

Why not?
